 |  Default parameters in BOX command
The syntax of the command is:
BOX a,b,c,d,e,f,g
Only the parameters b and c are obligatory, while all other is optional.
The odd thing, I've discovered, is that if you want to declare for example only b, c and f you have to left empty only one place: then BOX ,b,c,,f (instead of more logical BOX ,b,c,,,f).
Do you think it's a bug?

No, I wouldn't say it is a bug. And it is not odd at all. Maybe unintuitive or unexpected. Omitting the d parameter in itself means that you won't be declaring the size of the rectangle. Therefore the evaluation of parameters skips one stage. Or at least that's what I think.

Somehow, this topic came to my mind last night, and I realized that in today's techno bullshit driven marketing parlance it wouldn't be called oddity or bug, but context sensitive dynamic polymorphism instead.
P.S. Excuse me, Csabo, please. This don't double post rule is really underdeveloped. Is it really double posting if it is done more than a year after the last comment? Sorry again.
